Young Adult Volunteers
The Young Adult Volunteer (YAV) program is a one year service opportunity for young adults ages 19-30 to explore God’s calling in their lives. YAVs live in intentional community while serving alongside partner organizations in sites across the United States and around the world. Volunteers are placed in community-based non-profits or churches in jobs based on the needs of partner organizations and the skills of the YAV.
